⁵God is the strength in which I trust.
…try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of inadequacy. ²It is obvious that any situation that causes you concern is associated with feelings of inadequacy, for otherwise you would believe that you could deal with the situation successfully. ³It is not by trusting yourself that you will gain confidence. ⁴But the strength of God in you is successful in all things.
The recognition of your own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors, but it is hardly a sufficient one in giving you the confidence which you need, and to which you are entitled. ²You must also gain an awareness that confidence in your real strength is fully justified in every respect and in all circumstances.
…reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. ²You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. ³Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁴There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. ⁵There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. ⁶There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.
³Remember that peace is your right, because you are giving your trust to the strength of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-47.4:5–7:6;8:3. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)
In the dream, we feel a constant need to protect ourselves, to be safe from physical, emotional or mental harm. This world is based on the belief that loss is possible and separation is real. With this as a foundation, peace is impossible.
But there is a place in our mind of perfect peace. In this place is the strength of God. There is nothing real outside of this place. The Love of God is all that is real. His strength is invincible because Love never changes.
Today we open our minds to the thought of God within that is perfect peace and perfect happiness. Today we pause and let our mind be quiet. We let ourselves settle into this peace and strength within. We allow ourselves time to sink into the certainty that we are safe. We can bring this experience of safety into our daily experiences knowing that God is our strength.
